Top Forums Programming Problem with function which reutrns pointer to a value Post 87619 by jim mcnamara on Wednesday 26th of October 2005 10:24:37 AM

The compiler (actually the linker) is telling you that it can't find the

char *pcCityIdToCountryName(ADMIN_DB_DATA *pstHEader, unit uiCityID)

code anywhere. Is this function in another module? If so you will have to link against that module.
Code:
cc myfile.c -o myfile -L<some shared library>
or
cc myfile.c somemodule.o -o myfile

The -L syntax requires you to remove the "lib" from in front of the shared library name:
Code:
libcountry.so

becomes:
-L country

The .so or .sl is not needed.

NAME
g-ir-compiler - typelib compiler. SYNOPSIS
g-ir-compiler [OPTION...] GIRFILE DESCRIPTION
g-ir-compiler converts one or more GIR files into one or more typelib. It can either emit the raw typelib blob (default behavior) or C code (--code). The output will be written to standard output unless the --output is specified. OPTIONS
---help Show help options ---code Emit C code which is suitable for including in a shared library instead of a raw typelib. ---output=FILENAME Save the resulting output in FILENAME. ---verbose Show verbose messages ---debug Show debug messages ---no-init Do not include an initialization snippet to register the typelib in the respository. This can only be used if --code is also speci- fied. ---includedir=DIRECTORY Adds a directory which will be used to find includes inside the GIR format. ---module=MODULE FIXME ---shared-library=FILENAME Specifies the shared library where the symbols in the typelib can be found. The name of the library should not contain the leading lib prefix nor the ending shared library suffix. BUGS Report bugs at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ in the glib product and introspection component.
